-
Draw equipment as normal - Will not take into account the overlapping of position. Equipment will be displayed as normal.
-
Draw equipment table - Will display labels as a table if multiple equipment have the same coordinates, and display the default symbol instead of the Equipment icon, so there is no overlap of display.
-
Hide equipment - Overlapping objects will be hidden. If equipment is double clicked in the Vizex layer tree, the selection will be displayed in Vizex and the camera will pan to place it on screen if the position is out of view. If the equipment is deselected, it will be hidden once again.
